Project Progress (updated 26 July 2012)
This project is now complete. Each school has created their cultural presentations and maths problems, and have uploaded them to their pages. The team pages are now unlocked for all project members to view, and everyone can post comments on the team pages.

You are welcome to view the presentations and solve the problems. The students may not be monitoring their forums anymore, since the project has finished, but if you have any questions you can try posting a comment in their forum and see if you get a reply!

About the project
The project is one of the AEC-NET projects for 2012. It aims to bring together students and teachers from Asia and Europe by solving Mathematics problems based on unique aspects of different countries' cultures. Students will research their own culture and prepare presentations in some form about the culture, then all students will solve the Maths problems.

If you have questions or comments, please contact the Project Coordinator, Stephen McConnachie.

Project Outline:

 * February 2012:** Teachers write a Maths problem for their culture and send it to the Project Coordinator.
 * March & April 2012:** Students research their own culture, under the guidance of their teachers. Students prepare a presentation to teach about their culture. These final presentations are uploaded to their wiki below, **by April 30th.**
 * May 2012:** Everybody goes through the Maths problems, using the cultural presentations to learn about each culture before attempting their problem.
 * June 2012:** Project evaluation.
